Have him read with the page upside down, it will slow him down.

Given that DH still does this, I suspect it would be very difficult to change in DS6.

Thoughts?

I am often surprised when I look carefully at words I've only ever read, like the first time I heard someone say detritus. I'd always read it as detrius. And I do the same thing as your husband with names.
